The first IJF comp of 2025 with the new rules happened last weekend in Casablanca 

 

That means the YUKO score is back! This significantly cut many golden-score matches. 

 

UAE  first place overall with 3 gold medals all of which Russian origin judoka.

Yuko is back??? Why?

What made IJF change their decision? If i can recall, they changed it after Beijing 2008.

I don’t know the offical reasoning, but I think it is to make fights more active and this will limit golden scores a lot. They probably didn’t want people fighting in long golden scores with limited attacks and they are playing on shidos. A 5 second hold down can cause a win!

 

More rules can be found here: https://www.ijf.org/news/show/judopresents-the-new-rules

There will be a review after 2025 worldchampionships. 
 

The last time that the Yuko was used was 2017.

The Koka score (belows Yuko) was last used 2008

Do you guys have any idea on why is IJF NOT streaming the second bronze medal of each category?

 

They either show replays from the first match or just have a camera on the roof of the gymnasium, no narration, nothing. it is so weird.

yes, the Tokyo and Paris grand slam tournaments, which are held on 2 days only, always have this problem...

 

both BMM are held simultaneously on 2 different mats and only one (the GMM's) is covered by the TV broadcast

 

it's a shame that the 2 most important tournaments of the year (global championships aside) have this unfriendly setup
